ForwardPulse: Oh Oh Oh So Many Uses! GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Special Populations: Dumping Syndrome, Depression, and Retinopathy_enduring
New medications and new guidelines are constantly being released. Pharmacists need a mechanism to keep up with these new medications and guidelines.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP1RAs) are commonly used medications in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and/or obesity. As their use expands into more patient populations, questions arise regarding their safety and efficacy in special populations. This presentation will increase pharmacist understanding of the risks and benefits of GLP1RA use in patients with dumping syndrome, depression, and diabetic retinopathy.
